Happy April! We are now in the third month of the new year. Time to do our part to continue the support of women! Women’s history month is about making sure we do all we can to write our stories daily.

National Card and Letter Writing

In this full on social media and phone world the art of letter writing seems to be taken back. This means the many times that we would have sent a letter or a card to encourage or uplift we focus more on simply texting. I had someone tell me in person how they didn’t know something about me. They found out on social media. I reminded them that we both don’t communicate. Most of the times if not every time I post it is way after. Even with me cutting back people still think I am out and about daily when I am not.

Use the power of writing letters and cards as a means to catch up and uplift someone you love.

April is Stress Awareness Month

With April being Stress Awareness Month, a perfect opportunity to reflect on how stress impacts daily life and explore ways to manage it with intention. At ToiTime.org, we believe in prioritizing wellness, balance, and self-care—especially in moments when life feels overwhelming.

Stress is a natural response, but unchecked, it can take a toll on mental, emotional, and physical health. Finding healthy ways to cope is essential. Mindfulness practices, deep breathing, and grounding techniques help calm racing thoughts and refocus energy.

Self-care looks different for everyone, but dedicating time to activities that bring peace—whether it’s movement, journaling, or simply resting—is a powerful way to reset. Setting boundaries and protecting personal space is key to avoiding burnout.

Surrounding yourself with uplifting community and conversations makes a difference, reminding you that you’re not navigating stress alone. Nourishing your body with rest, hydration, and balanced meals supports resilience. And when stress feels unmanageable, seeking guidance—whether through therapy, coaching, or trusted support—is an empowering step toward emotional well-being.  At ToiTime.org, we celebrate growth, grace, and navigating life with intention. This Stress Awareness Month, embrace small changes that lead to lasting wellness. Because peace isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity.

10th Year Blogiversary

I celebrated 10 years as a Blogger.  Although I didn’t get a chance to celebrate really big, I definitely will in the near future. This is a huge accomplishment. I started this after my postpartum struggle. That time was sacred. I was already struggling with my body and mind after my last baby. In addition every change that could happen in these 10 years I have gone through them while also pushing through and sticking to what I love.

The collaborations are also one of the parts I love. Being able to decide what I want to get involved in or walk away has given me a sense of accomplishment.
